This is a thick sheet of aluminum or stainless steel, made into an L-shaped bracket for wall mounts and pole mounts. Bolting holes on the bracket are made to accommodate cables and antenna. Their sizes vary for different antenna sizes.

Pole mounts usually incorporate L-mounts and U-bolts and sometimes a mast. Some antennas require special brackets for pole mounting. The mounting point has adjustable height, pitch, and direction. Pole mounts are favored for mounting sectoral antennas.

It is important to assess the load bearing ability of a roof before mounting heavy antennas on it, especially when using non-penetrating roof mounts.

Tripod Mounts

Tripods mounts are generally used for larger antennas such as parabolic, including for heavy satellite dish antennas. They have precise adjustments for dish orientation and a stable anchorage. Tripods can be placed on level ground or rooftops.

Wall mounting can be achieved by using J-poles, L-mounts, wall brackets or U-bolts. The J-pole, also called J-mount, is a curved or angled mast commonly used for wall mounts due to its adjustable features. Wall brackets may be specific to antenna.

Window Mounts

Window mounts, used for small portable antennas for temporally mounting has a base with a rubber suction cup that can easily attach and detach from smooth surfaces such as windows and walls.
